Sofia Coppola

Her ten planets divide four in fire, four in earth, two in air and not one in water. Fire moves and earth builds; the element that registers a thing before deciding anything about it is missing from the chart entirely. Coppola directs, the record names The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation and Marie Antoinette, and it gives her father as Francis Ford Coppola.

The Sun sits at twenty three degrees of Taurus with Saturn two degrees further on in the same sign, and the Moon answers from Capricorn at thirteen. Taurus holds its position and enjoys what it has gathered; Capricorn manages feeling instead of expressing it, and the Moon is in detriment there, which makes for a self sufficiency that was never entirely chosen. Mercury and Venus sit together near the end of Aries, two and a half degrees apart. For a director whose record names three films and a father in the same line, identity sitting that close to the planet of limit is the structure worth keeping.

Venus sits in quiet contact with Saturn at a quarter of a degree, adjacent signs and the mildest link in the table, which is worth naming here only because nothing major in this chart comes inside half a degree. Jupiter sits conjunct Neptune at three quarters, both of them on the opening degrees of Sagittarius and both retrograde. Mercury stands at an awkward angle to Pluto at seven tenths. Four of the ten planets were retrograde at her birth, every one of them from Jupiter outwards. For a director with three films in the record, a chart whose closest contact is also its mildest is a fair description of the method.

Jupiter closed a full circuit on its Sagittarius birth degree on 20 November 2018, at forty seven, and it had been moving backwards when she was born. Three laps precede that return. Sagittarius measures a thing by how far it got from where it started, and for a record that names three films and a surname the record gives beside hers, how far from the start is the pointed question. No water at all, with four planets in earth, describes somebody who builds the thing rather than feeling her way into it, and the Sun two degrees from Saturn in the holding sign is where the patience for that comes from.
